Data sources

[sckott]

• [x] ITIS: mostly sorted, just need to finish off the sql verions of each function
• [x] NCBI: got data, just need to get sorted in the pkg
• [x] COL: big dataset, using mysql for now, ask ing if they can provide postgresql downloads, still working on download scripts, asked if they can share SQL query code for their API methods to duplicate local queries...waiting
• [x] plantlist: have code for download data, create database, need to put those together - also, there's no API calls really to match, so just do a simple search I guess, or maybe try to copy SQL queries in some ITIS functions
• [x] GBIF - sqlite db from darwin core archive, hosting on S3

from ropensci/taxize#400

Planning to get a first version to cran very soon - just fyi
